NFL dominates TV ratings

Want to know why NBC, CBS, Fox and ESPN spend billions on the National Football League?

So far this fall, 24 of the 25 most-watched television shows were football games. What non-football programs managed to break through the NFL logjam? NBC's coverage of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which is the 18th most-watched event this season.

NBC is getting the biggest numbers out of football as nine of its games are among the top 24 in terms of viewers.

Maybe the other networks should start programming parades against football.
